IGCSE BIOLOGY 
UNIT 1 CHARACTERISTICS AND CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING ORGANISMS

Before you start you can look back at 7A Cells, or 7C Classification

This unit is about how you know something is alive and how scientists classify living things. 

If you only remember one thing:

The seven life processes are movement, respiration, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, reproduction and growth.

This is the first of the 21 Biology units:

Flipped LESSONS

Lesson 1: LIFE PROCESSES

At the end of this lesson students will be able to:

1. List the seven life processes

2. Describe how they know something is alive or not using examples of the life processes it carries out e.g. Sunflower, robot, bread

Before you start the lesson make sure your notebook looks like this:
Picture
  • During the lesson you should watch the video and make notes. Remember you can always stop or rewind the video, you can also try the extra practice at the end.
  • Make sure you answer the learning objective questions, add extra information in your own words on the right and then write your own question. This should be a question that interests you, it could be something you are not sure about or something you would like to discuss in the class. 
Extra practice:
  • Try this excellent Bitesize activity on the life processes.
  • Test your knowledge with the life processes matching game.
